  1. Transparency? Who cares? on Adblock Plus Comes (Somewhat) Clean About How Acceptable Ads Work (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    If they won't open up, it makes no sense to use their product. I hope such a concept is not too difficult to comprehend.

  2. One of the worst? Maybe on Damage Report: LA Methane Leak Is One of the Worst Disasters In US History (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 2

    But things are always bigger in Texas. The L.A. leak gets more attention for its location

    Yeah? Let's see it get around the ISP that cuts you off or the TLA that jams your wifi.

  4. Yeah, they may have their social media, so what on How Ugandans Overturned an Election-Day Blackout of Social Media Apps (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They're not exactly a liberal bunch. Even with all the fraud, the incumbents still have a lot of support.

    Also it looks like there was lots of help from the Department of State, so let's not get all excited about this being a 'grassroots' effort or anything.

  5. Re:Taken from Jim Wright on Rubio and Kasich Are Living Out a Classic Game Theory Dilemma · · Score: 1

    Leave your 'lesser evil' bullshit along with its associated guilt trip at the door. I ain't buyin' it. Lesser evil gave us what we have today, just plain evil. There are plenty of other choices besides democrat and republican. Abstinence is not required to show displeasure with them

    You are wrong. The non-voting block is simply not counted. But since it is a majority in its own right, they could vote the republicans and democrats completely out of the house every two years, sweep the whole thing clean. That is the only way to test the system to see if it works. Right now the 95% reelection rate says it is working precisely as designed, and with full consent

  7. Re:No. That is not the strategy on Rubio and Kasich Are Living Out a Classic Game Theory Dilemma · · Score: 1

    The naivete is in reelecting the politician or anyone from a corrupt party after they picked your pocket. After losing the first shell game with them, why would you play another when you know they are cheating?

    The problem is that it's an inherently flawed method.

    The problem is that people believe what they see and hear

    Don't blame the system for the personal choices people make.

  10. opposite reaction on Arizona County Attorney To Ditch iPhones Over Apple Dispute With FBI (networkworld.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is exactly how fascism rises up as a 'peoples' movement via propaganda and hysteria. The Trump phenomenon operates on the same principles. It works today as well as it did 90 years ago. It is a fatal flaw of majority rule.

  11. Re:So what is the way they want this done? on Chicago Public Schools Make Computer Science a Requirement For a HS Diploma · · Score: 2

    It will be computer programming.

    More like *one-click-shopping* It will be a home economics course. And you're right. None of it has anything to do with basic education. You gotta learn physics and basic electricity first.

  12. Re:No. That is not the strategy on Rubio and Kasich Are Living Out a Classic Game Theory Dilemma · · Score: 1

    It's not the party's obligation. If you don't like what they offer, don't vote for them. You the voters are supposed to seek out 'decent' candidates and petition to put them on the ballot yourselves. Nobody is going to save you. This is your problem.

  13. Re:No. That is not the strategy on Rubio and Kasich Are Living Out a Classic Game Theory Dilemma · · Score: 1

    You are assuming the voters are rational, while the Trump phenomenon indicates exactly the opposite. Why are these people as popular as they are? The republicans can win now as easily as Bush did in 2000. And none of it matters when you have a convenient 50/50 gridlocked congress. The republican/democrat monolith will prevail, without a single independent to be seen.

    Honestly, how much more of this do you think people are going to put up with before they say 'enough is enough'?

    What are they gonna do about it? Write a *strongly worded letter*?

  21. This is a democrat administration leaning on Apple right now.... just thought you should know. And about 20 years ago, it was a democrat administration that was trying to restrict use and export of 'strong' crypto... Clipper chip? democrats... Where ya gonna run, eh?

  22. Or maybe "infringement" reflects a definition of the word that has been expanded way beyond reasonable by people who have no business meddling in the legislative process.
